Otherness is complicated and you respect otherness very well...

Minds work, about how thinking works, about how perception feels, about the fuzzy edges of self and other. Hopefully this feedback isn't too abstract. When I've got the spare cash I'll definitely be digging into more of that work you linked for the new year.

Harmony evoked in your prose (meaning this more abstractly, it's been a second since I read it and I have quite a bit of Tism). I especially liked the way you envisioned the mental landscapes of telepathy. Aligns with so many of my more hard-won observations and theories and studying of how other-

Huddled away for the holidays, but I would say I liked very much how you approached the... Mental texture of the different aliens in the deacon's tale. Hrrr. Hard to describe bc it definitely was appealing in a very subjective, synaesthetic way for me, but there were very good threads of colour and-

How provincial to figure that New York or D.C. or Los Angeles or the Salt Lake must be a hill atop the rest of the world.

Also, bad spell for a creature to say in your face it's okay with almonds just to leave an unwashed plate of banana bread crust in the sink surrounded by discorporated almonds.

The Zen masters did not warn me about the koan of the Snaiadi 'vertebrate' wormbasket.

Pacing the enclosure and having too many endocrine glands that all get off too easy about greater body beyond the body being slightly different from the last circuit of pacing. Apparently, a marketable curse.

At least I was good with analogies on the ACT. What price.

Sane enough worm in the whole basket of worms in my heart. If this doesn't twist our pattern recognition over the precipice of schizophrenia. Nothing will.

My relationship renewed with Great Value Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese nearly coincident with a major recall being issued about metal confetti in the Great Value Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese

Thought I'd found the right pot but then the description was too elaborate and the Spirit of the Midwest quartered in my heart made me feel like I was about to pay too much for just enough, despite this pot being objectively the lowest cost pot.

Hopped up on holiday spirit (egg nog) and figuring out which pot and which soil to offer the succulent that found its way into my sill from the decorative plant mill in Miami.

The Zen masters did not prepare me for the koan of the coyote surviving the car grille.

All I can say right now is that the right-wing crackdown on porn just makes me cranky and irritable.

It makes me want to make anything I create a THOUSAND TIMES MORE FUCKY.

imagine the voices malingering with the stars

imagine being the most divergent member of the sentient milieu.

The Zen masters did not prepare me for the koan of Robin Williams starring in a Popeye musical.

Me and also all my thingfriends are terriers digging rats out of holes I guess.

Gender is difficult and sometimes I'm upset about how close to unity the inner product of some wild media is with mine is with mine.

There's a needle in my brain that's always spinning around druids.

I'm a latecomer to your work, by a lot. But it definitely touched me in deep way and persistently lurks under my skin. I'm never going to forget it.

Thank you. Everyone needs to hear this, I think.

I am glad to hear that the good we do can sometimes roll on in the deep.

These are the only waves I’ve made that I really hope will outlive me. :)

I’m glad the concept resonated! It’s always a risk to try to say something deeper in a medium that most people quite literally call “fluff”.

You are a thoughtful animal. And you have made many other animals better simply singing.

Someone should tell you how much good you've done as a shaman and a writer. And that's probably me today.

Some creature I invited over on my own dime made a mark of itself within the discipline of engineering and called me from the other side of the Earth one night.

Direct consequence of you.
